Hello !
My name is Gérard JOTZ. My dad, Camille JOTZ, was born in 1924. He is a son of Charles JOTZ. Charles was born in 1893 in KALTENHOUSE and he is a son of Georges JOTZ.
Georges was born in SCHWEIGHOUSE SUR MODER;
The ALSACE has changed of nationality during WW1 – WW2. Before 1918 it was German. In 1919 – 1940 it was French. It was annexed by Germany in 1940 – 1945.
There are around sixty French families how are named JOTZ. But there is JOTZ in German, in Brazil, in Canada, in Estonia, in Australia.
I will contact the French families. I enjoy knowing the genealogy of my cousins of America.
Thanks to ask us with simple English, because we are not expert in English.
